Built in 1794, it is now one of San Juan Capistrano’s touring attractions. Witnesses claim that they have heard eerie chanting voices and to have seen glowing balls of light floating about in this two room adobe.

This 200 year old house lies on or near the same street as the White Lady of Los Rios Street. This house, which is still owned by the Rios family, is reported to harbor the ghosts of visitors from it’s past. One such visitor might possibly be the ghost of the famous Mexican bandito Joaquin Murietta, a friend of the late Gregario Rios. Murietta would usually hide in the Rios’ attic to evade the lawmen searching for him.

The apparition of a black-haired woman in a white dress haunts this seemingly harmless street in the seemingly harmless city of San Juan Capistrano. For 90 years sightings of this spirit have been reported, she appears from a big cloud of white fog that comes from nowhere and terrorizes the neighborhood.
Sometimes she’s got a black demon dog, and other times she doesn’t. Sometimes the white lady can be seen walking the hallways of people’s homes with her black dog. Most of the time she appears in front of a large pepper tree that lies somewhere along the street. In 1978, a house on this street was the source of some major violent poltergeist activity. Whether this is connected to the white lady isn’t really known, but it’s a good bet.
